AFAIR the purpose of the tools are somewhat different (one for easy importing of Photoshop easing curves or something alike, the other for something else ;) Thomas is ill today, maybe we can leave the big merging alone until he's back? Both tools aren't installed by default , so I don't think this needs urgent attention.

qmleasing was for easy importing of After Effects easing curves, and
easingcurveeditor was for more manual manipulation of curves. But both
tools display an easing curve, a rectangle to test it with, and an
array output that you can paste into a QML animation. It makes sense
to have one easing curve tool, which can import from AE and then let
you play with it a bit. Still there's no problem waiting for Thomas to
review it, it's not really urgent (although it would be nice to have
it fit in with the rest of the tool renames).
